A selection of recent paintings by San Francisco-born artist Rafael Delacruz. Drawn from the artist's Tech Bum series—which envisions a future portrait of his native Bay Area—, and also from the artist's personal imagery, Exploding Jezebel untwists a narrative universe of misfit characters in Paul Klee-like palettes and visionary hues. Delacruz's work presents a singular exploration of chromatic, painterly storytelling.

Born 1989 in San Francisco, Rafael Delacruz lives and works in New York.
